PM24509: MACRO REPLACEMENT NOT WORKING WHEN USED IN SETTING A DEFAULT LOW VALUE IN FM FOR SAP VARIABLE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a parameter map within a macro expression for setting
  a Default Low Value against an SAP variable in FM, the macro
  editor window shows the correct resolution of the parameter but
  when testing a QS in FM or running the query in the studios, the
  variable is not being populated.????The sap datasource default
  low value definition is ??#'[ZQ1NATLNE].[' +
  $New_Parameter_Map{'1'} + ']'# which resolves to
  [ZQ1NATLNE].[DISHWASHERS]. You can see this in the macro editor
  but when testing a query subject it defaults to [ZQ1NATLNE].[]
